Every once in a while an opportunity for some good fun rolls around that’s just too good to pass up. This one won’t last but it’s worth enjoying while it does.
Some of you may have seen the image below previously posted at Free Dominion under the thread title <a href=http://www.freedominion.ca/cgi-bin/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=3&t=000151>Say goodbye</a>.

The reason the above image was edited into hiti’s original thread (with her permission) brings us to “the rest of the story” and why this fleeting opportunity is so much fun.
The other day, while doing my due diligence, I stumbled across a site called “Stupidgate” which is designed solely to bash Stockwell Day. While it's not common practice to draw attention to websites with opposing points of view, occasionally it’s worth straying from conventional wisdom. But most of the time, as the Stupids are about to learn, it's not.
On the front page of the Stupid site, their opening link naturally leads to a typical anti-Stockwell story, Vanquished political leaders should disappear from scene,by Paul Jackson. When I clicked on it, much to my amazement, the link took me right back to Free Dominion, to a reposting of the same Jackson article the Stupids wanted to display.
Seeing the chance for a little fun we revived the thread, which had previously died an unreplied death, and others began to add their comments as well. We continued to check the link at the Stupid site and it stayed active. We intended to tell Free Dominion’s members all of this today but last night we realized there was room for some more shenanigans so, with hiti’s permission, we edited in the above collage, which Connie had created on the spot for the occasion.
At the time of this posting the Stupids’ link is still active. For some quick fun go to the <a href=http://www.stupidgate.com>Stupid Site</a> and then click on the first link. Imagine the reaction of the unsuspecting!
Enjoy it while it lasts. This prank will probably be busted pretty fast.
Then again...considering the domain name of their site...
